I live with my husband and 2 little boys close to firth park. We take regular outings to local parks, toddler groups and allotments as well as creating a warm and welcoming home environment for all children to explore who they are and master new skills through quality play resources.

I have now returned from maternity leave and my eldest son starts school in September 2018 at St Catherine's primary school. Alex, my mum, and Olivia, my cousin, who became registered as childminders last year, are also able to offer childcare during the day and wrap around care for St Patrick's primary school and Hucklow Primary school. We all live locally to the Northern General Hospital and will continue to provide high quality childcare services and developmental opportunities and experiences for children from birth to 11 years of age.

We will have full time and part time vacancies for school aged children and a variety of vacancies for those ages 0-4 years. Between us we can provide drop off and collection at St Patrick's School and nursery, Hucklow school and nursery and St Catherine's school and nursery.

In addition, we are registered to provide the Free Early Learning hours to children aged 2, 3 and 4 years of age.

Please enquire about our availability for emergency childcare and babysitting as this will vary regularly !

Thanks for reading :-)

My Experience

I have been a registered childminder for 8 years in May 2018.

I became a mummy in September 2013, to baby Ilijah and again in April 2017 to Isaac, so I can now empathise with all the parents out there!

I completed an NVQ level 3 in child care, learning and development as well as countless other short courses and completed a PGCE at University in Feb 2016.

My Qualifications

I started learning about children and their development when I chose to study GCSE Child Development at the age of 14.

My studies continued throughout a university degree (BSc Criminology and Psychology) where my interests grew around how early child hood difficulties and differences need attention, to allow each child to develop in the way that suits them best.

Other courses:

Developing Quality Practitioners

Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene

Safeguarding and Child Protection in early Years

First Aid (Paediatrics and Babies)

Social and Emotional Aspects of Development

Every Child a Talker

Learning Playing and interacting

Communication Friendly Spaces

NVQ Level 3 - Children's Care, Learning and Development

Makaton Level 1

Stories for Talking

Masters in Education (ongoing)

My Availability

I am open Monday to Friday from 7.30am until 6.00pm, but will consider earlier starts and later finishes

Reviews

Below are the latest reviews for Hannahs Little Lambs. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

From the very first contact with Hannah we felt that she is the right person for our daughter. She is very kind, patient and thoughtful person. She has always been accommodating with our requests when it came to clothing, footwear and managing meal times. We love the fact that Hannah is incredibly professional, keeping us up to date with our daughter’s development and meeting her milestones and engages us parents monitoring this progress in our home environment. She keeps detailed record of all they do every day, which is always packed with adventures which take place mainly outdoors, they learn about the nature which is very important to us as parents. To add she is incredibly supporting on the personal level, she always ready to give a practical guidance on how to manage tantrums, bedtime routines or how to get the kids to follow instructions. Our daughter settled with Hannah pretty much straight away and already formed very close friendship with other children in her care. We are very grateful to Hannah for her loving care and support. She is a star

Following the arrival of our second child we decided to move our daughter from a nursery setting to a childminder. Hannah was welcoming from the first visit and made us all feel at home. Our little girl is always asking when she is going back, and our son had no problem settling in when I returned to work. Hannah treats our children as her own, they join in with family breakfast and her boys are very kind and gentle with them, our little ones are always welcomed by name by her youngest son. When they first started, Hannah was very communicative during the day, reassuring me that they were settling in well. I feel completely at ease when the children are with Hannah, which has made returning to work easier.

Hannah was very patient in finding out my 2 year old child’s needs and she was extremely accommodating — I couldn’t decide our days at first, she made great effort to meet our needs, and was very supportive when I requested to swap our days later on. She was very keen on getting to know my son and to understand his personality in order to provide good care. She was always improving her approaches as she got to know my son better. My son loved spending time with Hannah, especially when she took them out to places (parks, play groups, etc) and he has definitely improved his social skills.
It’s a shame that I had to stop my son’s care from Hannah for absolute no fault of her, but for our own reasons — Hannah has been very positive, motivational, patient and kind to my son. I would recommend her to anyone who needs childcare with no reservations.

We are so happy to have found Hannah to take care of our little girl. She is very kind and approachable and our daughter loves her days there. She has a lovely respectful tone with the children which is really important to us. Hannah can be flexible with plans and timings which has made working with her very easy. We unfortunately have to move out of the area in a few weeks but we wish we could take her with us! She will be missed by our little girl.
